Of all the beliefs you hold, the most dangerous...

[Number 2 Pencil]

I held many beliefs to be true in the past, or at least I wanted them to be true. I was Catholic for a good many years and did my best to be one to the hilt. Now I think that that kind of faith is dangerous because it is blind following of a kind that goes against logic. I had faith in a ton of things I see as nonsense now.

Having changed my point of view to agnostic over time, I question absolute truths of all kind, and am wary of the beliefs I hold now in that I wonder if some new evidence may 'flip' my beliefs again in some unexpected way, this having happened once already. One thing I do have faith in, despite evidence to the contrary at times, is there is a fundamental goodness to humankind- or at least the potential for goodness- that supersedes most evil that happens. I would be devastated if I lost that article of faith, and it is possibly a dangerous belief to hold.
